The most horrible experience eva!!

***Somali-chick*** · 06-19-2005

:brother: s and :sister: s

OK, I was on the train rite? on my way home from school, I was sittin with a friend of mine minding our own business (talking about assignments and stuff) when all of a sudden this lady comes up to us and says "TAKE OFF YOUR SCARVES" in this really angry tone

me and my friend just sat there not knowing what to do...at first i was thinking of kinda being "rude" to her as well but i just stayed quite coz i didn't want to give islam a bad name and all. When she said this, she was actually getting of the bus, after saying that and she got of the bus...she gave us the rude finger :eek: that was soo unbelieveable wallahi

We haven't done anything to her but yet she comes to us and acts rude, the weird thing is she was probably around her 50s or 60s, ufff and i thought people around that age were smart or something :'(

oh well, alhamdulilah

did this sort of thing happen to any of you guys before?

BTW, I haven't been to the forum for awhile, alhamdulilah I will be here often now

i hope i didn't miss much

:applaud: :applaud:

you should never retrun hate with hate always with love people in the age are to respected no matter what. where I'm from i get a funny look all the time but if you say hi the say hi amd than they feel :confused: because now they know that they was wrong.

i live in between to two churches so you can only think about the things that are said but I will always respected them. because it not up to me to judge them. :wilted_ro

***Somali-chick*** · 06-19-2005

very true sister, who knows maybe she might revert to Islam one day

If only people saw the beauty of Islam instead of the lies and misinformation the media shows :'(

JazakumuAllahi kayran sister

I am sad to hear that sister like me once i had left the masjid after isha and was a victim of a "drive-by" (they threw eggs on me) however Alhamdulilah the eggs hit me and just slid down to the ground thanks to me smooth jubba i was wearing but it felt kinda humiliating but then i just said to myself dont worry khaldun they dont know what they are doing....fools

Ina lilahi wa ina lilahi rajicuun

that's sooo sad wallahi brother-worser than what happened to me and my friend, may Allah (swt) have mercy on our Umma and may He (swt) unite us all Amiin

jazakumAllahi kayran

**Silver Pearl** · 06-19-2005

warahmatullah wabarakatu,

Ina lilahi wa ina lilahi raji3un, I've never personally experinced such hate, though i'm surprised seeing as i used to live in an area where muslims were the minority (actually just my family).

Let they be the mockers now and we'll see how they spend their life in akhirah, surely they are ignorant so we must show them some respect even if they don't know the meaning of the word. We must never stoop to their level and let the shaytan make us utter something foul.

Surely the creator is our guidance and protector and that is enough alhamdulillah

**Khaldun** · 06-19-2005

subhanAllah yes i remember that brother zAk soo sad wallahi but alhamdulilah that its all ok now.

Surely there was a party of My servants who said: O Our . Lord! we believe, so do Thou forgive us and have mercy on us, and Thou art the best of the Merciful ones.

But you took them for a mockery until they made you forget My remembrance and you used to laugh at them.

Surely I have rewarded them this day because they were patient, that they are the achievers. surah muminuun

**Muhammad** · 06-19-2005

Those are all very sad stories, may Allaah protect us Aameen!
I have witnessed a couple of "drive-by's", though not as bad as Khaldun's. There's been some "walk-by's" too but nothing has been as bad as above Alhamdulillah.
Btw - you often get stares and things on trains especially, but what can you do? Just ignore really, unless you want to stare back...

**Khattab** · 06-19-2005

And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!"

"To us our deeds, and to you yours; peace be to you: we seek not the ignorant."

I wonder what her face would have been like if you said this to her.

**Ansar Al-'Adl** · 06-19-2005

I was just remembering that verse! You beat me to it, Br. Khattab.

**solid_snake** · 06-20-2005

^^ where do you live? why were you getting the stares? just curious

I haven't experienced any of this things.

**Nakisai** · 06-20-2005

were do you live ?

**aamirsaab** · 06-20-2005

Those are some really sad stories. The fools who commited them will be punished. However, what i would like to mention is that sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire - don't let them walk over you. If someone did one of those actions to me, in the streets, i woulda smacked em out - the racist punks (I probably woulda got beaten up as well). If we do not stand up for ourselves, who will?

I'm not saying use brute force all the time, but when the time comes, USE IT!

Subhanallah :'(

A friend of mine, once advised me ..

If you are in a situation, and you are not sure what to do...

Think what would Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu alahyi wasalam) do? :'(

He was without doubt the best of examples.

"Strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer for if he has an occasion to feel delight he thanks [Allah], thus there is a good for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and shows resignation (and endures it patiently), there is good for him in it." (Reported by Muslim)

O Allah! We seek refuge in You from ruin and falling, from drowning and burning and from senility: We seek refuge in You from being bitten by venomous creatures. We seek refuge in You from greed, bad manners, bad actions, bad desires and bad desires. We seek refuge in You from the burden of debt, from being humbled by people and from ridicule of enemies.

**aamirsaab** · 06-20-2005

this is what i mean by fighting fire with fire. You can't just let these idiots start harrasing you. stand up for yourselves.

By doing what?

Sure, I'm not against standing up for oneself, that is very important, but we need to recognize when it will accomplish something. If its only going to worsen the situation then have patience.

EDIT: example. Say someone calls you taliban or something like that, it might be useful to turn around and yell KKK or 'David Koresh' to make them think.

**Pinkrose** · 06-21-2005

Subhanallah!!! :'( :'( :'( :'(

Verrrrrrrry Sad stories!!!

Don't worry brothers and sisters!! the day will come when we'll be the one's with the last laugh!!!

See we have Iman!!! They are fools!!!

If we fight back we will give a bad name!! Our prophet Muhammad(pbuh) did not fight back!!! He is our rolemodel!!! Let us show them the true meaning of Freedom and Peace!!! After all Islam means PEACE!! Don't be hurt by what the fools say or do to you!!!

I have not experienced any of this!! Although i went to school with skirts and the hijaab!!!! Sure they will stare but That never bothered me!!! I was proud to get recognized by my teachers and my Friends!! Most loved it!! I was the only muslim in the school!!! Alhamdulilah allah saved me from their evil ways!!! Now i have homeschool so things should be better now!!!
